Blue Bell BMW Crewe backs local pro golfer on prestigious European Tour

Blue Bell BMW Crewe has wished Wychwood Park Golf Club based pro Simon Wakefield  good luck before he jets off to compete in the PGA European Tour’s South African Open Championship early next month.

Simon, who has been playing at tour level for nearly 10 years, regained his European Tour card for the 2013 season by bouncing back in style via the Challenge Tour 2012 Rankings after narrowly missing out on retaining his card last year.

And Simon who lives in Cotes Heath, Staffordshire, has being backed all the way for the past 4 years by the team at the Weston Road dealership which has provided him with a BMW to support his travel arrangements to UK and Europe-wide competitions.

Father-of-two Simon recently challenged South Cheshire golfers to ‘Beat-a-Pro’ at a charity golf day, organised by Blue Bell BMW, on his home course in Weston.

The competition raised over £300 towards the event’s grand total of almost £1000 for the Cheshire-based charity Visyon, which promotes and improves the mental health and emotional well-being of children and young people up to the age of 25 throughout the region.

Barry Holt, Dealer Principal of Blue Bell BMW Crewe said: “We’re delighted to see Simon competing at the top level again and wish him nothing but the best of luck on the prestigious tour.

“Simon is a great golfer and an excellent ambassador for his sponsors.”

Simon Wakefield added: “The support I receive from Blue Bell is amazing and I’m extremely proud to be associated with the dealership.

“I can’t wait to get back out on tour and am thoroughly looking forward to the new season.”

CONTROVERSY OVER WALKING ROUTES TO SCHOOLS REVIEW

Willaston and Rope Ward Councillor Brian Silvester is backing local parents in Willaston in their bid to maintain a free bus service for their children to Malbank School in Nantwich. He said," The following have been identified by parents as hazards that the Council do not appear to have taken into account.

· The alternative "walking route" via Cheerbrook Road and across the A51 to London Road, is a indirect route.

· The alternative "walking route" is unsuitable as in places there is little if no street lighting.

· The alternative "walking route" involves crossing a railway crossing that is only covered by a half barrier - therefore making this a potential health and safety issue.

· The alternative "walking route" involves walking along London Road which historically carries a large amount of Heavy (HGV) Lorries.

· The alternative bus service (Arriva) will cost approx £300 per term.

I have written the Council to ask them to review their decision that withdraws the free bus service from Willaston to the Malbank School."

Councillor Silvester is urging parents in Willaston to contact the Council or himself if they have concerns about the proposed changes.

The Council have informed Cllr Silvester that, 'In terms of your local ward area, one route that is currently under review is the route between Willaston and Malbank High School. The crossing of the A51 at the Cheerbrook Roundabout was originally assessed as “unavailable to walk” but because of the recent installation of a toucan crossing this has made the route potentially ‘available to walk’.  See below and attached.

Binge drinking is a talking point for Alcohol Awareness Week

 

Cheshire Police has launched an alcohol awareness campaign which is designed to make young people think about the damage that excessive alcohol consumption can cause. Alcohol is more accessible to the younger generation than ever before, and it is therefore a key aim of Totally Wasted to provoke a reaction amongst youngsters into understanding the harm that they are doing to themselves in the long term if they do not change their drinking habits.

Totally Wasted wants drinkers to consider the cost of alcohol to themselves and their family, public services and communities - what is the ‘trigger’ or cause of getting wasted all the time, and if behaviour can be changed, so that night outs can be enjoyed with or without the influences of alcohol.

The campaign supports Alcohol Awareness Week which is being run by Alcohol Concern from 19-25 November. Alcohol Concern hopes that it will help trigger conversation about the health risks, social problems and stigmas which are associated with talking about the dangers of alcohol.

Making people more responsible for their own drinking behaviour is the key to changing a drinker’s habits over night. And by generating awareness - if it can just make a person think twice about driving when over the limit, or prolonging their night by not mixing drinks, then it will have made some impact.

In the run up to Christmas, the different elements of the Totally Wasted campaign will look at -

• Wasted your evening
• Wasted your life
• Wasted your looks
• Wasted time
• Wasted money

A spokesperson from Cheshire Police commented that "since the launch of our Totally Wasted campaign, we hope to see a change in young drinker’s attitudes. We are not asking people to stop drinking but to watch how much they are drinking in a short space of time. The dangers of binge drinking at a young age can lead to early signs of alcohol harm"

Cheshire Police want young people to get involved on the social media networks. For more information, please go to www.upbeat.uk.com/totally-wasted or like us at www.facebook.com/totallywastedcheshire.

Spread the warmth – preparing your home for winter

 

When temperatures start to drop, the first thing people should think about is how to prepare their home before the cold weather really takes hold.

There are numerous checks that can be completed which can minimise the affects of adverse weather and the board offers this advice:

· Insulate pipes and drain off outside taps to prevent frozen pipes;

· Know where your stop tap is, and make sure you can turn it on and off with ease;

· If you are going away, consider asking a friend or neighbour to check on your house regularly. That way, if you have a burst then it will be discovered early;

· Leave your heating on if the weather is forecast to be freezing;

· Take advantage of the last remaining insulation offers. Contact your energy supplier for details of free or discounted loft and cavity wall insulation;

· Fit draught proofing to seal any gaps around doors and windows;

· Get your boiler serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Remember for gas boilers, check that your engineer is Gas Safe registered;

· Be prepared for clearing ice and snow this winter – have a snow shovel, brush and grit or salt ready.

Councillor Janet Clowes, Cabinet member in charge of health and adult social care, said: “Throughout the winter, we will be providing information and handy tips to help people prepare for winter, how to cope in cold spells, and encouraging people to look out for their neighbours.

“We are also putting plans in place to identify vulnerable people at risk of ill health during cold spells. The advice above offers simple and practical measures that everyone can use to suit their own circumstances.”

Sean Reynolds, Chairman of the Local Adult Safeguarding Board, added: “On behalf of the Board, I would encourage everyone to take note and act upon this practical advice to stay safe and warm this winter.”

Council moves to boost use of its land and assets

 

Cheshire East Council is to take steps to speed up and simplify the process for developing Council land and assets.

The aim is to boost the authority’s ability to use its property as effectively as possible to generate wealth, jobs and much-needed housing – and support the renaissance of Cheshire East’s towns and communities.

Currently the authority has to undertake time-consuming, expensive and bureaucratic European procurement procedures to select development partners by competitive bidding for each project individually (via the OJEU procedure).

Now the Council is proposing to create a streamlined ‘delivery panel’ of appointed partners and service providers, called a new developer framework.

This new panel would provide the Council with a one-stop shop for development and construction-related works and services. Developers and services would then be procured via streamlined ‘mini-competitions’.

The panel is a fast and simple way to procure services for every stage of the development process from appraisal to construction for Council land and assets. Services include: Project appraisal; project and programme management; finance and funding; planning; design and technical advice; construction; sales and marketing.

This framework panel system has the benefits of delivering:

● Fast and simple procurement;

● Access to a pre-qualified list of high-quality providers across a range of disciplines;

● A flexible range of services and expertise; and

● A choice of high-quality housing and construction providers.

The Council’s assets service is responsible for managing Cheshire East land and property worth more than £600m. Increasingly, the Council is committed to promoting economic growth, regeneration and new housing development through the smarter use of its land and property portfolio.

Councillor Jamie Macrae, Cabinet member in charge of prosperity and economic regeneration, said: “We want to gather a portfolio of best-in-class companies – a mixture of top local and international developer partners. We believe that Cheshire East deserves the best.

“This framework will help the Council bring forward development opportunities more efficiently, strategically and speed up the development process.

“This will generate money for the Council to plough back into frontline services and capital projects, which will help deliver wider regeneration benefits to the people of Cheshire East, stimulating jobs and economic growth.

“The Council has a responsibility to local Council Tax payers to manage its landholdings and property assets as effectively and efficiently as possible. The creation of a ‘new developer framework’ panel will help the Council deliver this.

“The framework will make the procurement process faster and simpler and more in accordance with the Council’s corporate objectives and priorities.

“There is also a need for a significant number of new homes in the Borough over the period of the next Local Plan. The Council has a responsibility to make land and property available to help facilitate the new development required.”

The new framework agreement will run for a maximum of four years.

The proposed timetable for the creation of the framework would see the Council inviting tenders submissions by July 2013, with the panel of contractors and developers in place soon afterwards.

Frameworks of this kind have been embraced by a number of high-performing local authorities and Homes and Communities Agency. They are also generally supported by private-sector developers, consultants and housing associations as an efficient way to bring assets to market.

Service of Remembrance

Reporter John White,

Wistaston Memorial Hall was full for the Service of Remembrance on Sunday 11 November 2012, starting at 3pm. Those present included local residents, several Parish Counsellors, members of The Royal British Legion, plus Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers from the Wistaston 35th SWC Scout Group.

The poppy display was arranged by Olive Williams. The music was provided by Myra Wood and members of the Wells Green Church Choir. The Service was led by Rev Mike Turnbull and Rev Ken Sambrook (St Mary's Church, Wistaston) and Fr Martin Moran (Oblate Retreat Centre). A list of the names of the sixteen men from Wistaston was read by Barbara Brereton. A special tribute was paid to one of the sixteen men from Wistaston who perished in WW2: Sergeant George Alfred Hinton, No.53 Squadron, Royal Air Force who was reported as ‘missing’ on a bombing raid on 26th November 1940, aged 28. He was the observer/navigator in a Bristol Blenheim Mk IV plane from RAF Thorney Island, Sussex.

A wreath was placed at the front of the Hall by John Cooke (Hall's President). Jack Gresty played 'The Last Post' and 'Reveille'.

A collection raised £248 for The Royal British Legion.

The Hall's Chairman John White said, "This was another respectful Service during which the sixteen Wistonian's who perished in the Second World War were remembered and due tributes given. We will always remember them."

The Wistaston Memorial Hall was opened in March 1949.

Apprenticeship seminar in Crewe

Cheshire East resident awarded British Empire Medal

A Cheshire East resident has been awarded The British Empire Medal after years of hard work fundraising.

Edna Weatherby, who is from Alsager, was awarded the medal after raising thousands of pounds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).

The British Empire Medal has been reintroduced this year, after a 12-year absence. This year’s awards saw seven Cheshire residents receive a medal.

Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire David Briggs presented the British Empire Medal. He said:

“This is a thank you from the nation to the hard working volunteers within our communities who are the backbone of society.

“I hope that going forward, more people will consider nominating outstanding people they think are worthy of this award.”

Celia Crompton collected her mother’s medal. She said:

“It is a tremendous honour to receive this award on behalf of my mother.

“She has worked tirelessly for many years raising money for the RNLI as Secretary of Alsager Ladies Lifeboat Guild and I know that she is honoured to have been awarded the British Empire Medal.”

Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire David Briggs added:

“I am delighted that the British Empire Medal has been reintroduced. It is only right that deserving members of the public are recognised for their hard work in their communities and for charity.”

Mayor of Cheshire East Councillor George Walton commented:

“Here in Cheshire East we are fortunate enough to have many residents who do a great deal of hard work in their local community.

“These people don’t do their work for plaudits. However, it is only right that they are recognised.”

Postal votes for the PCC Election

 

Cheshire East Council is urging people to take care when completing their postal votes for the Police and Crime Commissioner Election.

So far, the Council has received nearly 14,000 votes by post, with around 500 of these (3.5 per cent) being incomplete.

For postal votes to count, the Council must receive both the ballot paper and the postal voting statement.

Currently, a small number of people are returning only part of the postal vote, or completing the postal voting statement incorrectly, which could lead to their vote being invalid.

Residents are being asked to follow the instructions that accompany the papers. They are:

1. Separate postal voting statement and ballot paper;
2. Fill out ballot paper and place it in envelope A;
3. Fill out postal voting statement and place it, along with envelope A, into the larger envelope B; and
4. Post envelope B back to the Council – no stamp is required.

Postal voters are also reminded to correctly complete the postal voting statement by filling in their date of birth in the correct format and by adding an accurate signature.

Postal votes must be received by the Local Returning Officer by 10pm on Thursday, November 15.

Voters are urged to return their postal vote at the earliest opportunity.

Police appeal for information after Crewe sexual assault

 

Police are appealing for witnesses following a sexual assault in Crewe on Sunday 4 November 2012.

Cabinet changes announced at Cheshire East Council

 

Cheshire East Council’s leadership has taken advantage of the sad resignation of a stalwart councillor to reshuffle the Cabinet.

Hilda Gaddum has decided to step down from her position as Cabinet member in charge of children and family services for family reasons. However, she will remain ward councillor for Sutton, where she has lived for more than 30 years.

Council leader Michael Jones and deputy leader David Brown see it as the perfect opportunity to bring in new faces and also introduce policy development groups as the authority moves towards its position as a policy-led council.

The six new groups (listed below) will be cross party – enabling the elected representatives of local people to influence policies affecting the communities they represent. The groups will have some meetings in private but, importantly, will meet regularly in public to ensure accountability to the public.

These will be complemented by three scrutiny committees (external, internal/corporate and health and wellbeing). Further details on these will be announced shortly.

Councillor Paul Findlow has now joined the Cabinet and will take the corporate policy portfolio. A former leader of Cheshire County Council, Councillor Findlow brings with him much experience in local Government.

Councillor Michael Jones, Leader of Cheshire East Council, said: “Firstly, I would like to pay tribute to Councillor Hilda Gaddum, who has served on this Cabinet since 2010 and given a high standard of committed service and enthusiasm.

“Whilst it is a loss to the Cabinet, it has provided us with a way to reorganise the Cabinet structure and I am delighted to welcome Councillor Findlow to his post, who I am certain will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the position.

“When I first became leader, I pledged to make this a more inclusive Council that listened to a wider range of voices. We are a Council that seeks to work in partnership – across the political divide – for the benefit of all the people of Cheshire East.

“The new arrangements will enable far more members to influence policy, which strengthens the democratic process.”

Councillor Findlow is a ward councillor for Prestbury and currently sits on outside organisations such as the Cheshire Police Appointments Joint Committee and the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE).

He is also a governor at King’s School, Macclesfield, and previously held the children and family services portfolio in Cheshire East Council’s first year (2009-10).

On her resignation, Councillor Gaddum said: “It is with great sadness that I have decided to step down from the Cabinet. I have had some wonderful times and have faced some great challenges but I believe I have taken these on in the best way that I could.

“It has been such a privilege to work with the many officers from children and family services and I would just like to say a huge thank you to all these incredibly hard-working people.

“Now, I would like to spend more time with my family but I am still a councillor and will continue to help the people of Sutton and Cheshire East with the issues that matter to them most.”

Councillor Rachel Bailey will now take on Councillor Gaddum’s vacant Cabinet position as part of the reshuffle. However, she will still be responsible for planning matters.

Councillor Peter Groves is now the chief whip.

The full Cabinet membership and support members are now as follows:

Councillor                Portfolio                                                                    Support member
